Facetime Microphones defaulting to "Zoom Audio Device".

Almost 50% of the calls I answer on my MacBook change my default mic to "zoom audio" resulting in other person not able to hear me.

Facing same issue from last 2 years on my MacBook Air M1, Air M2 and Pro M4.


I have seen hundreds of similar post on this community, all marked as

"This thread has been closed by the system or the community team" without solution.


I know how to change it back to Mac's microphone but I need to change the default.

No option available in System settings > Sound.

Zoom audio is not even an option there under microphone.


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.2
